If You Are In A Building That Is On Fire

1. Assist any person in immediate danger to safety, IF it can be accomplished without risk to yourself. 2. Activate the building fire alarm system or notify the fire department by dialing 911 (or designating someone else to notify them for you). When you activate the building fire alarm system, it will automatically notify the fire department and get help on the way. It will also sound the building alarms to notify other occupants, and it will shut down the air handling units to prevent the spread of smoke throughout the building. 3. If the fire has spread from where it originated, DO NOT attempt to put it out, evacuate the building. You have no idea if there is something that may explode or if the fire may be generating toxic fumes that may incapacitate you.

4. As you evacuate, close any doors behind you and close windows if it is possible without increasing the danger to yourself.5. If you decide to attempt to fight the fire using a fire extinguisher,ALWAYS POSITION YOURSELF WITH AN EXIT, A WAY OUT, AT YOUR BACK. IF SOMETHING UNEXPECTED SHOULD HAPPEN,YOU NEED A MEANS OF ESCAPE!

﻿Fire Classifications & Cleaning Methods﻿

It is important to know that there are several different types of fires, each type determined by the materials that were combusted. Fire classifications are:A - ordinary combustibles such as wood, paper, trash or anything else that leaves an ash;B - fueled by flammable or combustible liquids, which include oil, gasoline;C - energized electrical fires;D - combustible metal fires;K - fires that involve cooking oils, grease or animal fat.

EACH CLASS OF FIRE REQUIRES A DIFFERENT METHOD OF CLEANING

WHAT YOU SHOULD NOT DO is attempt to clean fire damage yourself. Using the wrong cleaning method or cleaning product could actually cause irreversible damage by embedding the soot and smoke into the articles you are attempting to clean. Cleaning ANYTHING damaged by fire requires special skills and special methods to prevent permanent damage.
